I have a memory of someone saying a Russian invasion was unimaginative, so things were done differently for the lore. I think the Globalist lore was interesting, although it wasn't explained on the character creation screen. At the time it could feel prescient with the emerging theme of Globalisation, and sparked immersive campaigns under LemonPunch. Some surviving lore from LP:

Brawler talked a bit about the original lore here:

He also explained that the first WW3RP server was more or less born from the first Star Wars RP server:

weirdly in original ww3 lore the coalition did NOT feature russia, they were neutral

the coalition was led by china primarily, the ukraine invasion campaign was chinese coalition troops fighting

from the original lore doc written by me and bork in 2013/14

yeah it was weird and imo it kinda sucked, i like a lore that makes a bit more sense but people are irrationally attached to it because they were 16 when they played it and have nostalgia for those simpler times, which is something i get, but id never be in a rush to go back to it
